All social theorists and philosophers who seek to explain human action
have a 'model of man'; a metaphysical view of human nature that
requires its own theory of scientific knowledge. In this influential
book, Martin Hollis examines the tensions that arise from the
differing views of sociologists, economists and psychologists. He then
develops a rationalist model of his own which connects personal and
social identity through a theory of rational action and a priori
knowledge, allowing humans to both act freely and still be a subject
for scientific explanation. Presented in a fresh series livery and
including a specially commissioned preface written by Geoffrey
Hawthorn, Hollis's important work is made available to a new
generation of readers.
